Rochelle Schieck ~ Qoya Guatemala Retreat

May 6 - 13, 2017

Event Navigation

This retreat will help you reclaim the power to be your own spiritual authority by remembering how to feel the physical sensation of truth in your body.

When you leave, your inner voice will sound loud and clear. You will stop doubting yourself, and stop living with a facade over your true self. You will feel like yourself again.

This is an invitation for you to show up as you are today. Not a year from now after you’ve finished that project, lost 10 pounds, reorganized your home, or met the love of your life. It’s the call of your emotional freedom, waiting for you to come claim it. Freedom from martyring yourself for your job, your friends, your family, or even to the idea of what you “should” be doing and who you “should” be.

The truth is that shining your light is the most selfless action you can take. It’s how you take care of yourself and the world. This retreat is the place where you can show up and shine, authentically and fully expressed. It’s also the howl from your soul that, when put into the air, helps the rest of your tribe find you.

About Rochelle

Rochelle Schieck loves to move – in her body and around the world. She started dancing as a young girl growing up in Minnesota until she was summoned by the call of adventure. Her love of movement and the desire to explore life’s meaning compelled her to spend the last 15+ years traveling around the world as a student and teacher to places throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Rochelle began instructing various yoga styles for all ages and abilities, several dance modalities and NIA. In the last 10+ years, she has led over 4,000 movement classes, facilitated hundreds of private sessions and taken women on over 20 retreats to 6 different continents

*There will also be some SURPRISES that are guaranteed to deepen your connection to the Western notion of pilgrimage as a spiritual journey reflected historically in the practices and perspectives of earth based mother cultures…

I have never felt the power of Nature and Her healing qualities as much as I did when teaching and practicing at Villa Sumaya. The land is sacred and magically healing.

Every winter since 2006, Villa Sumaya has enfolded our groups of creative writers and yoginis in her beautiful arms.

For both of us, the week at Villa Sumaya was a transformational experience, and I don’t often use that term.

Comfortable space to rest and to feel the spirit while nurturing the senses. Wonderful services, staff and treatments. A gem to add in the heart of your spiritual journeys.

The most wonderful relaxing environment that restores your peace and helps you appreciate life. You'll meet wonderful people and achieve a sense of calm not possible anywhere else.

Villa Sumaya is one of those few places that you can go and finally let go of trying to get more of what you don't need. In this oasis of calm, I find I can use the surrendered energy to make a difference with what I have and who I am.

My time at Villa Sumaya was the highlight of my trip to Guatemala. When I feel my patience fading during times of stress, now I close my eyes, picture Villa Sumaya, and remember all that I learned while I was there.

You’ve created a very personal, loving and gentle environment. It was a real honeymoon in such a beautiful place.

This has been one of the most perfect weeks I have ever experienced. Everything here was beyond my expectations. From the surroundings, to the people in the villages, the staff, the center, the food, just everything!

Michelle

I've had many amazing adventures since those 8 days at Villa Sumaya, yet it still remains the place in the world that I think of as the most peaceful, spiritual and magical.
